    My First TDY: A work vacay

    “TDYs are supposed to be fun, it should be great, I may like it…,” sadly enough, thinking those words didn’t change the fact that I was not having fun -- yet. This was my first temporary duty (TDY) and I was the only person from public affairs going to MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, during a high-priority multi-wing exercise. So, my responsibilities and expectations were much higher, and I was determined to make the best of this opportunity.

    Mosaic Tiger 22-1 highlights ACE in austere locations

    Although the Mosaic Tiger 22-1 exercise operated mainly from Moody Air Force Base, Georgia, its success would not have been possible without simulated contingency locations. Among many things, this Lead-Wing exercise tested the ability of purpose-built rescue and attack assets to conduct operations in austere locations. In the second iteration of Mosaic Tiger, Moody incorporated locations such as MacDill Air Force Base and Avon Park Air Force Range, Florida, to highlight its Agile Combat Employment capabilities.
